Clinical End-Points Associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Lung Cancer: Implications into Host-Pathogen Interaction and Coevolution

Figure 1

Sample histology images. The scale bar equals 10 μm in each figure. (a and b) The IK staining figures with 1000 times zoomed in. (a) Showing MTB-L in the nucleus of squamous cell carcinoma (see black arrows). (b) Showing MTB-L in the nucleus of lung adenocarcinoma (see black arrows). (c and d) 400 times zoomed in in situ hybridization figures. (c) Showing mpb64 positive expression in the nucleus of squamous cell carcinoma. (d) Showing mpb64 positive expression in the nucleus of lung adenocarcinoma. (e and f) 200 times zoomed in in situ hybridization figures. (e) Positive control showing mpb64 in tuberculosis. (f) Negative control where no mpb64 probes are added in lung adenocarcinoma.
